About the Role:
I am seeking an intern to manage social media marketing for JJG Expressive LLC.
The premise for my business is the combination of my published books and my current upcoming world tour beginning September 1, 2026. Currently I have four published adult coloring books (Curvy & Cozy Collection) featuring real women of all walks of life as a form of empowerment and body positivity. I intend to expand upon that over time; however, I also have other pending projects including children's books, travel journals, and eventually a memoir upon return of my trip.
My goal is to build a following of my journey where I will be spending a month per country throughout Europe and Southeast Asia. My angle is more educative as it will be largely focused on old architecture, libraries, history, culture, etc. I would like to take advantage of that platform to also attract attention to my books and build anticipation for upcoming books as well as a YouTube channel based around a collaboration of my travels.
Benefits:
✔️ Internship credit
✔️ A strong recommendation
✔️ Permission to use results in their portfolio
✔️ Flexible hours
✔️ Creative control
✔️ Performance-based compensation
Responsibilities:
Create daily content using provided photos and videos, ensuring consistency with brand voice and messaging
Develop creative strategies to promote books through engaging, platform-appropriate content
Monitor comments across social media platforms to identify constructive feedback
Qualifications:
Ability to work effectively across multiple time zones
Experience creating and managing content on Instagram and TikTok
Ability to optimize product listings on e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Etsy and eBay)
The Canelands magazine, affiliated with the department of Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies, needs interns in magazine layout and design for spring 2026.
